Made it out to Carters Lake Tumbling Waters Trail today! Didn’t know this little gem exists and only heard about it when reviewing the AJC’s Top 40 Waterfalls for North Georgia list.

These trails are gorgeous!

Eventually, the trail crosses the river with a very sturdy bridge.

To the left the river leads into the northern tip of Carters Lake.

Looking to the right and you find the lower section of Tumbling Waters Falls.

A bit more hiking on the other side of the river.

Then you make it to the upper section of the falls.

Walking back downstream you can see the base of the upper falls and the observation deck on the other side of the river above a cool looking cave.

Once on the other side of the bridge, take a left to head uphill and back upstream to the observation deck looking down on the upper falls.

It looks as good above as down below!

On the hike back I took in the trees even more than the walk to the falls. Here are a few photos of some of the more interesting ones I saw.

All an all, a sweet little treat for those in North Georgia and while the waterfalls are not the most exciting ones we have to offer in the area, it is a definite trail to visit.

See ya on the trails!
